Very nice build. My mom's xperia sl is also using crDroid but its not as stable as yours. Well done dev, thanks a lot. Btw dev, did you change to build crDroid instead of AOSPA ? It doesn't matter, just asking.

flashed coconut zip...with kernel inside and full wipes nd then flashed GApps but the screen is stuck/frozen at the first bootanimation image(black image with two white circles at sides) but the screen touch sounds is heard and the back and menu buttons also vibrate with UI sound ..also the led glows on charging which means the rom has screen problem??:confused:
can other coconut users confirm this??:confused:
